On A Morn Like This

1.oo A.M
I'm back from my cross-country road trip. It's very very tiring and it felt like I'd put on 2 KGs. I shall weigh myself tomorrow after 2.12 hours of praying and we shall see. *sobs

1.03 A.M
Chatting with Eri - where I can be head over toes emo; whining about anything under the moon. Cause I know I'll miss mum and dad... after spending daysss of quality time together with them. It happens everytime. When I leave my hometown, or if my parents leave KL. I feel like I'm abandoned and my heart feels lonely. Kuyu.

1.08 A.M
I would follow my family back to Johor until Sunday, but there's a Nuffnang bloggers gathering dinner at KLCC this Saturday, so I rest my case.

But I still miss those times when Mom would deliver home brewed thong sui to my lovely room where I lepak in front of my laptop and laze like a worm in my cozy bed...


Where are those days here???

1.11 A.M
Since I'm feeling homesick already (even tho my parents are still here sleepinggg just next door to me), I've decided to post my very last CNY entry; 90% about food.

THE BANANA LEAVES CRAZE!!!


This is my mum's damn sedap Nasi Lemak Ayam. The sambal looks obviously like any other sambals your eyes had ever seen but I would mark this extraordinarily smashing!


We had pumpkin kueh with ang dao sa (red bean paste) inside; which tastes extremely unique and suang kou kao kao!!

1.19 A.M
My stomach is growling. Literally growling. But I just had dinner not too long ago~ Sigh... This is what happens when your stomach expanded and you are browsing through pictures of food past midnight.

It's like magic. As magical as how this soup would tastes like in your mouth! :


We had shark fin's soup on the 2nd last day of CNY! I had FOUR bowls of this - 2 for dinner, and 2 for supper. So did Eugene! We seasoned it with some XO and black vinegar to give our taste buds a roller coaster ride~! More excitement is always more fun. ^^


Check out the number of realll big ass pieces of shark fins and 100 percent genuine crab meat inside this delicious soup! This delicacy is made from scratch in the kitchen - except that Mom didn't go diving to catch sharks and dig for crabs. LOL!

1.27 - 1.31 A.M
I'm still feeling lonely; tho I'm chatting with the two Most Faved people in my WWW (whole-wide-world).

Here's lunch on the last day of CNY.


SecreTIVE gilerrr man~!!


*TADAA!!!!!* - Baked Chicken with 2 Salad Side Lines. This is the first time I met a chicken that could take my breath away. -.-


Pure Pumpkin Puree Soup - drizzled with fresh cream...

1.38 A.M
Hungers but nevermind. Dinner for CNY's LASSTTT Day was remarkably "intimidating"...


Udang ngan Nenas masak Gulai Asam atas Nasi Daun Pisang. *droolz! How can anyone not droolz?!?!?!


Got additional sambal lagiii. HAH! Kao kao kasik.


Mom even knows how to make nian kao. The one on the left is Marble Nian Kao, while the one on your right is the Ori one.

1.42 A.M
I haven't officially introduce to you Labis town.


La Mei Shi (Labis) Da Zhong Lou (Big Clock Tower). Fehmes for teenagers having sex and getting pregnant while the clock is striking.


Literally Dataran Labis. Siap macam boleh main Chess lagi...


This is Me and Ah Syh, my neighbour slash ex-classmate.


Ah Kai and Ah He came to pick us up in an old humping blue van and we did some pai nin activity. Nothing interesting tho; except for one item that I think is fairly worth sharing :


This old fashioned papan pembersih baju. It was at Ah Khun's house. Ah Khun's dad was a carpenter and he did most of the furniture in my house at Johor. Have you, ever seen anything like this in your life?! Don't know where to find lehhh~~~ ;p

2.05 A.M
OK I'm back. That day I had the last BIGGEST gathering with my hometown lovelings.



And we did it in a lousy quaint cafe'. Very random too.


Senarai Sultan-Sultan dan Polis Negara. -_____-"""

The menus are atrocious and very tragic :


Kuih Tepung TARIK. (Direct translation of "la mien")


Longan KEPALA Laut and ManGGo double G. *jesus


Chrysanthemum was spelled using intuition and Nescafe became NETcafe (I swear I SWEAR that's how they pronounce it in Labis, while sambal sounded like "Sam Batt").

2.12 A.M
And wouldn't it be a funnier joke if I say mum did not bake any cookies for Chinese New Year. Here they are!!! :DDDDDDDDDD


Lovely, kan???


I tapaoed a few of each kind and sealed them in a bottle.

2.38 A.M
But they are gone now. I even finished the crumbs. Two thumbs up for me! And a bigg "Weee!!!" for my Mummy.

Did that just rhyme naturally?

2.41 A.M
Good night, fellas~ *;)

Your Inamorata Is.

I'm finally back to the city. Reached LCCT at 9.20 P.M yesterday, but Winson waited at KLIA to pick me up instead. -_____-"

It is now 11.16 A.M. Starring out my room window from the 24th floor; looking at all these pencakar langits and roller coaster highways can't possibly make me feel better. I'm missing Perhentian island very much already.

It's so gloomy today as much as I feel. Or perhaps it's the PMS; it's been dragging for 2 weeks. But... But..... It was sunny e.v.e.r.y.d.a.y at the beach! ))))):



Ahhhhh~ I need my sun!!!!! I want the sea!!! I love no-city, I love no jungle, I love to bersantai at the pantai; FOREVER~!



See? This is what I call life. Sighhh~

Now I'm going to get ready for 2 castings -one at 2 P.M, the other at 8.30 P.M. First time attending a casting at night; should be quite fun getting lost before reaching there. lol~ & watching Wall-E in between with Winson.....

Hpoefluly tihs moive wlil mkae me day beettr.


p/s: i hate departing, i really hate goodbyes, i think i could really do with a hug, i need a hug. ))))))))))':

Buses come in threes

It's been two and a half months now.

i'm lying here with my iPod listening to our song till its final note; allowing it to take my breath away, this time without you by my side. this song is incomplete without the missing notes of your strong, steady heartbeat battling to win the music - desperately trying to catch my attention which never fails to fake an escape.

with your eyes closed, pretending you're asleep, you looked so beautiful to me... and everybody wants to have you. they flooded me with "you're so lucky".

baby.

it's been a while.

my thumb makes a swift semi-circle spin. a switch of melody to my favorite song; enjoying it just to switch it off again to yours, just like you always do - teasing me to make me frown, which then made you angry, five minutes later ended up kissing with out of control tongues and making up to each other like losers.

the late night suppers at mc d. eating heavily black peppered fries and sundaes, watching you eating your best friend (Big Mac) down your tummy, i find it very funny. you tickle me in each. and. every. single way, baby boy!

i miss you and everything you do; the times you annoyed me, the way you sulked and stared, as you raised your voice with your ego - simply creating a childish reason to bring me up, and made me the happiest girl on earth again!

i miss being angry at you dreadfully; just to feel you showering me with your love and affection.

the times when you stink up the toilet four times a day, giggling warning me not to go in, i'm sorry i sulked.

you taught me things i could never learn from any men's heart, and life.

spinning my iPod round and round a thousand times more now, will never make any difference now that ...










we're gone.

One may as well begin with Miss C's short note to her readers:

Subject:

Hello, people - so here we meet again after a long long goodbye.


p/s: i MISS my long longg hairrr..... ))):

I just came back from KL yesterday after my photoshoot, and interview for NewMan magazine. (have em' pictures but can't upload any because of copyright issues... haiyah!) So please do check out June's issue! Can't wait!!! (((((:

It feels so good to (finally) BE home - and it's very cool to be able to laze on my favourite couch which; seems to mold to hug your body perfectly as you do your leisure reading with the companion of good music, without someone coming into the room and (a) passes wind (b) shouts for their mother miles away (c) analyzes personalities (d) smokes (e) blasts "catwalk music".


iPod-ing with baby Julian.. *^^*

Have been exxxtremmmely busy lately ever since the 29th of April; have some doors opened for me so far, and hopefully more opportunities to come too! Wish I could have more time to sleep or go online tho... Truly sorry for the no-reply mailsss, neglected inboxes, and messages on my walls. I'll reply every single one of them a.s.a.p. Atm, I'm still busy driving around belanja-ing and thanking the people who have supported me!!!

Here's my online thank you note to just any one of YOU who gave. and take.



My greatest gratitude to:

0. God - For accepting, acknowledging, and answering all the prayers that I've sent.

1. Sazzy Falak - for her encouragement, constructive criticisms, and good advices.

Thank you. Thank you.


Su. Dom. Ringo. Miss C.

And:

To those who has favouritism, preferential bias, plays with manipulation, judgmentally judge me by first impression from the very start of the show and stubbornly stick to it till the end, polluting my name and face the way you want to see it on media -Thank you for making me a MEDIA VICTIM and today, a smarter. tougher. R.E.A.L person.


If girls are so sweet, why such facial impression on STAGE as I smile? (tho its not like a damn great smile lah)

And to "YOU" - the GREATEST thanks to YOU for always coming up to my ears whispering "you NEVER improved", "you have NO confidence", "CINDY~!!!@#$%^&", shaking your head every now and then in front of everybody (to show you are doing your job is it?) to bring me down before and during every photoshoot; thus making ME and EVERYONE thinks that I suck! Now, you made a FOOL of everyone, INCLUDING yourself!

To these handful of bloggers

Oh ya! Congratulations.

To these handful of bloggers, Facebookers, geeks, who don't think I deserve this - Can't you see you are the reason why I'm here today? To Prove, and Improve. Thanks for the chance.

Most of all, I thank those whom I do not know but still voted for me, and THAT'S why this note is dedicated to you guys, as is my life, and victory.



Thanks for letting me know I'm loved and love. Most of the cruelty in the world is just misplaced energy.

Love and peace in abundance,
Miss C xxxxx

Dreamingirl or Dreamgirl

Dear Readers,

i'll be away for 2 weeks MONTHS from the 1ST day of March till 28TH April 2008; living in a secret villa called Dreamhome with 11 other Malaysian Dreamgirls.

However, you can still catch me @ www.malaysiandreamgirl.tv/ starting 6TH of MARCH.
